3 Tips on how to avoid killing your indoor plants…

I truly have become a plant lady over the years. If you took a look in my living room about 10 years ago you would not find a plant at all and at best some dried up ones on the balcony. I have gone through trial and error and I think I can finally keep the plants I have in my home alive.

There really is no witchery to it. For me it is following the rules and plan which has kept my plants alive. Of course I have lost some down the road but I have never had indoor plants as long as I had my current ones.

How to keep your indoor plants alive

Stick to a watering schedule

Now during Winter times your plants won´t need as much water as during the heat of the Summer months (at least ours don´t cause we do not pump up the heat like crazy indoors – this might be different for everyone). I water all of the plants once a week and let the orchids and the succulents sit in the sink with clear cold water for about an hour. 

Dust the leaves once a month

This has been a total game changer in my opinion. Plants absorb sun light and all their needed nutritions through their leaves so if they are super dusty they can not successfully „breeze“ and get worse over time. You would not believe how much dust leaves are collecting. A soft microfiber cloth is all you need and it is reusable.

Location, location, location

For your indoor plants this isn´t as important as for real estate but I would at least put them somewhere near their desired location and not in the opposite direction. 

 

As a bonus you can add some fertilizer to the potting soil every once in a while.

I call this look modern rodeo style and I would definitely wear it to one if I was in Texas or someplace else a super cool rodeo took place. 

The color combination of green and brown turned out amazing. The chocolate brown totally makes the green pop. I would totally wear this to work as well. I definitely looks chic but and I would also call it office appropriate – maybe just swap out the shoes. 

The accessories have the upper hand here in this outfit. A headband, scarf and shiny heart shaped statement earrings – why not ?! Also how cool are cowboy boots!!! I have had mine for years and can´t get over the fact how cool they make me look 😉

Regensburg Brunch and Breakfast Spots Part#1…

….

(post contains ads/links to other websites/Post enthält Werbung/Namen und Links zu Fremdwebsites- not sponsored)

I LOVE breakfast. It is my favorite meal of the day and I would rather eat breakfast dishes than anything else. Always. So since having children we are no strangers to getting up early and so we decided to go and try all of the different berakfast spots we can find in our city. 

I wanted to break it up in two parts cause we have tested a few and that would be way to much info at once. If you are ever in Regensburg, either for vacation or business you should definitely check out these places. We have been lots of times and tried the breakfast menu up and down. I am going to share my favorites of each and also some other significant things.

Also to be clear about breakfast. We do not like the normal breakfast like a piece of bread, butter and cheese. We always look for pancakes or waffles, egg variations and bowls. 

Breakfast / Brunch Spots in Regensburg

OFFSID3

By far our favorite – by far. They have the most delicious and most extra dishes for breakfast. From eggs benedict to bowls, waffles, french toast and pancakes to avocado toast and breakfast burritos there really is something for everyone. They have a gluten free pancake option. Lots of different coffees (we are cappuccino people) and other hot beverages as well as juice and their own fresh lemonade. 

The garden behind is super pretty with lots of shade in the Summer. The inside is pretty as well but too big. There are some stairs everywhere so you will not be able to access the garden or the restrooms with a wheelchair. Also they do not have a changing table for babies. It is fairly priced and the dishes usually come very quick. Portions are pretty big. If you want to eat two different ones you´ll better share.

Charlie´s 

We have visited Charlie´s a few times now and it has great breakfast options but not as many as I´d hope for. The terrace and the indoors are super modern (black and gold always looks great together) and moody. Outside it can be a bit noisy cause there are two major streets going along. Also there is not much space inside so it will be a bit cozy if you are having a mom brunch with more than one stroller. Also the toilets are downstairs and there is no possibility for a wheelchair to get down other than the stairs.They do have a changing table for babies.

The pancakes and the breakfast sandwich are the best options to choose from. Of course you also can not go wrong with bacon and eggs. The prices are reasonable and the size of the portions are fine.

 

 

Café Kona

If you are having kids with you to take to breakfast this will be the best option. They have a corner with toys and books and small furniture to sit on. The breakfast is pretty normal. Bread, cold cuts and cheese and vegetables but the croissants are amazing.  They are warm and soft and delicious. I always order two cause they are gone pretty quick. Plus they offer bagels. I always take the English Bagel with bacon and eggs and beans.

There is a seperate bathroom to change diapers. You can get inside through the garden at the back of the restaurant if you have a stroller or wheelchair. If you are around the area in Fall make sure to try their pumpkin spice latte. I kid you not it tastes amazing.

 

Freiraum

Super small restaurant with a cute little garden on the back but also has super narrow aisles. It will be hard maneuvering with a stroller and that is why it´s best to sit out front. 

I love their pancakes and eggs plus the plates are the most colorful and pretty I have ever seen. 

 

Little Tony´s 

It is a two-storey restaurant. Pretty small but very cute. There isn´t much seating whether on the first or the second floor so I would make sure to make a reservation. There is a very small outdoor seating area but of course it is closed in Winter. 

I love to order the bacon and egg bread and the pancakes. So so good every damn time. Why is breakfast so much fun!! 

Very limited space for strollers but it is possible to get in and also toilets are accessable for wheelchairs and a changing table for kids is also available.

 

Part two is coming soon but there are a few places I need to get back first as well as to try more of their foods.

Dark Brown Blazercoat – Where to wear and how to style…

….

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

Brown is still the most fabulous colors of all. Who would have thought that I come to love it as much as I do now. I have never had much chocolate brown in my closet but since my Neverfull and the rising of the color I definitely added some pieces. 

I wanted to share this look with all of you although it is definitely a Spring appropriate style but why not post some inspo already. The whole outfit is pretty casual so I added the blazercoat for a more polished look. It is so cool and immidiately elevates the jeans and sneaker combo. A jersey turtleneck and my beloved handbag rounds up the look.

The sneakers are a recent find from Marco Tozzi and they are amazing. Not only are they super comfortable but the metallic brown is so pretty and I am sure come Spring and Fall I will get tons of use out of it.

Where to wear this cute blazercoat? I would say it works for many options. Casual like I have styled it with sneakers and denim or maybe over a dress pant for the office, with a pair of sequin pants for a fancy night out or with leggings and boots and a knit turtleneck under for a Winter appropriate look that keeps you warm.
